Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ya Ning heard Ya Fei's exclamation and curiously came over to look.

As if she had discovered a new continent, Yafei showed the photo to Anjie, "Mom, look, isn't that a ring on my older sister's hand? And it's gold!"

"Really? Let me see it." Anjie was a little skeptical, so she took the photo and examined it carefully in the sunlight.

In the photo, Lin Wangshu and Jiang Weidong's hands are indeed clasped together, and An Jie looks at them with surprise, "Weidong! Wangshu! You two..."

Lin Wangshu was sitting on the sofa, and Jiang Weidong was leaning against the armrest next to her. Facing An Jie's gaze, Jiang Weidong no longer tried to hide his feelings.

He nodded generously and took Lin Wangshu's hand, "Mom, we're planning to get married!"

"Ah!" Yafei and Ya Ning exchanged a glance, huddled together and screamed excitedly. Jiang Weimin, standing to the side, covered his ears and grimaced in pain.

"That's wonderful!" An Jie stood up first, took a few steps excitedly, and then sat down next to Lin Wangshu with a hint of melancholy on her face. "You're getting married so soon, I feel a little reluctant to see you go."

Lin Wangshu chuckled and put her arm around An Jie's shoulder, saying, "Have you forgotten that the person I married is your own son, Mother-in-law?"

Lin Wangshu's last two words, spoken in a joking tone, made An Jie laugh: "I forgot."

She leaned back again, looking at the two of them with a sense of satisfaction, and then, as if remembering something, said, "I still remember the first time you met!"

“Back then, Wei Dong was very easy to fool. Wang Haiyang’s mother was just joking with him, but he took it seriously and immediately said that Wang Shu was the little wife I found for him.”

Lin Wangshu also remembered it, and glanced at Jiang Weidong beside her with a smile. She still remembered how silly he looked back then!

Jiang Weidong felt embarrassed under her gaze, and interrupted An Jie, his face flushed, "Oh, Mom, why are you saying all this?"

Ke Yafei was curious; she had never heard of these things before. So she grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and urged Anjie with great interest, "Mom, please continue! We're waiting to hear more."

Seeing that Ya Ning and Wei Min were also looking at her curiously, An Jie suddenly felt the urge to confide and continued to expose Jiang Weidong's secrets.

The next day, Wei Dong led Wang Shu home from school and they ran into Wang Haiyang's mother on the way. She said to him, "My goodness, Junqing, your mother found you such a beautiful young wife?"

"Hahahaha!" Yafei laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. "That really sounds like Wang Haiyang's mother's tone."

"What did my second brother say?" Ya Ning asked anxiously when Ya Fei interrupted An Jie, her eyes shining with a thirst for knowledge.

Jiang Weidong blushed with embarrassment at the laughter, wishing he could disappear into the ground. Seeing his expression, An Jie laughed and said, "I dare not say anything more, or your second brother will be angry with me later."

The story ended abruptly halfway through, leaving Yafei and Ning scratching their heads in frustration. Yafei noticed Lin Wangshu turning her head away, secretly laughing behind Jiang Weidong's back.

He immediately pleaded with her, "Big sister, you must still remember, right? Please tell us!"

Lin Wangshu glanced at Jiang Weidong with a smile in her eyes, ignoring his threatening look, cleared her throat and said, "Okay."

"Back then, your second brother was just like he is now, his face as red as a monkey's bottom, and he angrily said to Aunt Zhang, 'This is not my wife, she is my sister!'"

"His voice was so loud that it startled Aunt Zhang. It took her a while to say, 'You little lump of coal, why are you reacting so strongly? Is he beneath you?'"

After Lin Wangshu finished speaking, everyone around burst into laughter, and even An Jie, who knew the truth, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, Wang Shu, you have a really good memory!" Jiang Weidong said through gritted teeth as he looked at Lin Wang Shu.

Lin Wangshu sniffed at him and snorted, "Didn't you treat me like a little sister back then? I didn't say anything wrong."

"I..." Jiang Weidong was at a loss with her and couldn't get angry, so he could only whisper to her, "You just wait!"

Although Lin Wangshu wasn't afraid of him, Jiang Weidong still held some authority over Yafia Ning, and the two of them quickly suppressed their laughter. Jiang Weimin, needless to say, didn't dare to laugh at all.

"Big sister, let us admire your ring!" Yafei asked Lin Wangshu, changing the subject.

Lin Wangshu took the ring out from her collar and showed it to them.

"Is it really gold? Is it pure?" Afi held the ring, eager to take a bite.

Jiang Weidong quickly stopped him, "Shut up! If you bite and leave teeth marks, how will Wang Shu wear it?"

Yafei reluctantly took the ring off her lips. "Second brother, you're so generous! When Ya Ning and I get together, we'll have to find someone as generous as you!"

Because she had just mocked Jiang Weidong, Yafei immediately tried to make amends by flattering him.

Jiang Weidong was clearly taken with this, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"I don't care about that. If two people truly love each other, even if he gives me a grass ring, that's still romantic."

Ya Ning's eyes were filled with longing. She loved literature, and her thoughts still carried the innocence and romance of a little girl.

"You've really gone stupid from reading too much!" Yafi looked at her incredulously and commented.

After everyone had seen enough, they returned the ring to Lin Wangshu. This time, in front of Jiang Weidong, Lin Wangshu solemnly put it on her hand.

As the year draws to a close, Jiang Defu is getting busier and busier. Today he called again to say that he won't be home for dinner.

Anjie was worried about his stomach, so she packed the food in a lunchbox and asked Jiang Weidong to deliver it to him.

Jiang Weidong, carrying a lunchbox, cleared his throat as he looked at Lin Wangshu, who was watching Yafei and Weimin play chess.

Lin Wangshu looked up, saw his eyes, understood, and stood up to walk out with him.

Holding a flashlight for illumination, Lin Wangshu joked as they walked, "You're not afraid to walk alone at night, are you? You'll need someone to accompany you."

"I am scared, but luckily I still have my wife!" Jiang Weidong held Lin Wangshu's hand and teased her in a serious manner.

Lin Wangshu shone her flashlight on him and laughed, scolding, "Your skin is getting thicker and thicker."

The two chatted and laughed, as if they had returned to the days when they walked together at night as children.

When they arrived at Jiang Defu's office, he looked up from the pile of documents, saw them, and smiled.

“Wang Shu, it’s perfect that you can do me a favor and give this document to your uncle.”

Lin Wangshu picked up the document, glanced at Jiang Weidong, and felt a little flustered. She left the office, looking back every few steps.

After she left, Jiang Defu's smile disappeared. He looked at Jiang Weidong for a while before speaking.

“I’ve already heard from your mother that I don’t really support your getting married now.”
